- 1New ESP32 chip runs Linux, closing gap with Raspberry Pi●The newest ESP32 can run Linux and it's getting close to a Raspberry Pi
Espressif's latest ESP32 microcontroller can now run Linux, a feat once reserved for far more powerful boards. Commenters are comparing its capabilities to the Raspberry Pi, noting that a low-cost microcontroller family edging toward full single-board computer territory marks a notable shift for hobbyist and embedded hardware projects.

A new report highlights that microcontrollers, typically limited to simple embedded tasks, can now run both a diffusion model for image generation and a large language model with 289 million parameters. The development points to AI capabilities moving onto low-cost, low-power hardware rather than requiring cloud servers or GPUs, a notable shift for embedded and edge computing.
